I went to church this morning with Aunt Lu and it got me thinking about kindness and friendship. I decided that I'm going to throw a surprise party for Molly's birthday. I don't have much time to plan though...that's the only thing. I want to plan the party for the 23rd so that only gives me three weeks.

While I was sitting there listening and thinking about this I felt like someone was watching me. I looked over my shoulder and saw the Andersons sitting a few rows back. Josh was looking right at me and he flashed me the cutest smile when our eyes met!

After the service I told Josh my idea. He thought it was great and he had a fantastic idea... We were trying to figure out how to distract Molly so we could get her there without her finding out. Well, Josh suggested we get Alex to take her out to dinner before the party! Isn't that fabulous?

He also offered to help me pick up supplies and food...since I still can't drive alone. See, pretending that I still can't drive is kind of working out well!

So last night Molly and I went to the coffee shop to catch up. She loves the kitten. She was telling me about all of the toys she bought for her. Apparently her mother has also fallen in love with the cat. I'm so glad it's made her happy.

We also talked about Alex a lot. Molly is thrilled that he's single. She even told poor old Paul that he's history. She wants to be available in case Alex remembers that he's crazy in love with her. I didn't tell her that Becky broke up with him for just that reason. I feel like I'm in a weird position. I feel bad for not telling Molly, but I would feel bad for breaking Alex's trust. Josh is right. I should just keep my mouth shut and let things play out the way they're supposed to.

We also talked about my day with Josh and how I managed to get a dinner outing with him. I'm not ready to call it a date yet, since I'm the one who initiated it. I'm afraid that he sees me as some little girl next door who's still trying to figure this Pennsylvania thing out. Molly thinks I'm crazy. She said, "I don't think Josh ever saw you that way."

I just hope this thing with him is real. That is goes somewhere and doesn't just fade away.
